Symphonia introduced several concepts to the franchise, in both story concepts and gameplay concepts the most notable is the 3D incarnation of the Tales' signature battle system. It places more emphasis on the relationship between Lloyd and Colette, and is obviously a Compressed Adaptation. It's unlikely any of this will ever be officially translated to English, but fansubs of the OVAs are circulating around the Internet if you look. A manga was published that covered the events of the first game and its ending becomes the first game's canon ending according to the second game (See Third-Option Adaptation below). The game was adapted into three sets of anime OVAs totaling at 11 episodes, along with 6 omakes. The game also contained numerous references to the first game in the series, Tales of Phantasia, which turned out to be because Symphonia is a Prequel set in the same world as Phantasia, a few thousand years before. Like many of its predecessors, Tales of Symphonia retained the real-time battle system, the use of food as healing items, the famous summon spirits, and the games' general tendency to include lots of Character Development, themes of discrimination and alienation, and a villain with considerably deeper motives than simply being Ax-Crazy and openly evil. Aiding them is Lloyd's best friend and Bratty Half-Pint Genis Sage, Lloyd's teacher and Genis' older sister Raine Sage, and a mysterious badass mercenary called Kratos Aurion.Īfter a few hours the storyline drops its first Gut Punch on you, after which the plot expands exponentially from a simple Black-and-White Morality tale to a full-on Gambit Pileup, with multiple sides trying to manipulate or eliminate Colette for their own purposes, and Lloyd determined to do everything he can to protect her, even from herself. Idiot Hero Lloyd Irving, after some hometown-related complications, sets out to protect his childhood friend and current Chosen One, Colette Brunel, on her Journey of World Regeneration. The only way to stop the Desians is the Journey of World Regeneration, a pilgrimage around the world taken by a Chosen One that, when completed, will awaken the goddess Martel and save the world. The game is set in the land of Sylvarant, whose Life Energy ( mana) is being slowly drained away by the evil Desians. It received an international release on July 13th, 2004 in North America and November 19th, 2004 in Europe. The game was released on August 29th, 2003 in Japan, on the Nintendo GameCube. Tales of Symphonia is the fifth mainline entry in the Tales Series.
